Explanation:

Equatorial hot, wet climate is found between 5–10 degree north & south of the equator. The most outstanding feature of the equatorial climate is its great uniformity of temperature throughout the year with no winters. Cloudiness and heavy precipitation ~ 150 – 250 cm of rainfall or more in a year, helps to moderate the temperature, so that even at the equator, climate is not unbearable. There is no month without the rain & a distinct dry season like that of savanna or tropical monsoon climate is absent. They contain about half of the world’s known animal species and provide about 40% of the world’s oxygen. There is neither drought nor cold to check the growth in any part of the year. Equatorial vegetation comprises a multitude of evergreen trees that yields tropical hardwood viz. Mahogany, Ebony, Greenheart, Cabinet Woods & Dyewoods.
